I think the hardest part of building a solar farm is the permitting. Many municipalities are hostile to the idea of converting farmland into solar fields, even with agrovoltaics. There are special interest groups that may come in and try

Even if they got stuck at that price point and never went down again it's already over. 30 years of buying natural gas can't compete with that.

You just slightly missed the crux of the issue here. The big "problem" with renewables like solar is that once you've installed enough for yourself you are done for like 30 years. There is no monthly sun fee you need to keep

It's yet another gamble where if it works out he will look like a visionary and if it doesn't he'll look like an idiot. The exact sort of bet that Elon never fails to go for.

If someday we get some kind of supergenius congress that can write laws that are unambiguous and have no loopholes then this won't be a problem. Until then there will be a constant back and forth between people who want to fund things

Tesla is not your average car company.

It depends. Lots of parts are shared by multiple models or even companies so it may be the case that nobody has made for example a new water pump specifically for your car for 10 years, but the design is the same as the 2025 something else

But the whole shtick with Optimus is that they aren't writing software . It's supposed to be all LLM training so when you buy your robot you can give it orders like "do the dishes", "clean the gutters", &quot

Elon's hype level over Optimus practically off the charts. He has profit projections that have Optimus be effectively all of GDP in the future. Say what you want about Elon, but he does put his money where his mouth is and I believe

Sure, societies that don't have the concept of currency. The inhabitants of the Sentinel Islands for example. Some other societies have different ways of measuring authority and delegating power, but in general currency is more effici

The way I read that is Discord would delete your data, but they were taking an intentionally hands off approach to the data broker they subcontracted to identify you.

I kinda miss the days of the crazy housing bubble back in late 2000s, at least that bubble didn't affect my daily life.

I think the title is trying to convince you to switch from InnerHTML to SetHTML.

The PDP machines that Unix was developed on had MMUs, which they needed because the 16 bit processors couldn't address the multi-megabyte address space the hardware supported. I'm pretty sure the Centurion doesn't run Unix.

A USB video capture device or a converter box. There are devices sold specifically to interface these old machines with modern displays. One of the more famous ones is the RetroTINK.

Yep, but it lacks a MMU so memory protection and paging are going to require a lot of work. I think the only reason this is feasible at all is they're running the OS out of a ROM cartridge.

While the CPU is a better fit than the 8 bit contemporaries, the 16kb of working memory is going to be a struggle.

I remember those old cellphones with weak IR filters. It was a scandal because light clothing turns out to be more transparent to IR than to visible light so they were acting as a sort of clothing "X-Ray" in bright light. Creepe

It's a tax. The administration can pretend it isn't, but it is. I'm actually impressed. Trump's allies figured out how to raise taxes on the working class without the George H. W. Bush backlash. And now they're g

Article 1, section 8 of the Constitution makes it the job of Congress, not the President, to levee taxes. When Donald Trump didn't run his tariffs through Congress he blatantly violated separation of powers. In normal times this would

Yep, it's a straight up error in C to return the address of a local variable from a function outside of main. Valgrind will flag this as use of an uninitialized value. The problem is that as long as it's something where the calli

Pro: You arguably make the world a better place by letting people share knowledge more easily. Con: Possible 25+ year jail sentence, multi-trillion dollar fines, might be distributing actually harmful material. This is one area where I&#x

The other downside of the Desktop is that it requires periodic re-verification with the device you used to set it up. Desktop users are definitely second class citizens in the Signal ecosystem.

Seems like it would be of limited value to backdoor a program like Ghidra. Might be useful in identifying security researchers, except that it's also the kind of program that will often be running on disconnected systems with little v

If Gmail rejects emails from your domain it is up to you to fix it. Google is not going to change, and enough of your users will be interacting with people on Gmail that you have to fix it. It doesn't help that Google has been pushi

From my testing on Linux this model is way too slow for anything close to realtime. The machine I’m using is kinda old, but a 12 minute input file took half a day to process.

That makes more sense. I was thinking about the big box discount store Big Lots and my first thought was "they have a Discord?" followed by "they talk about books!?!".

Traditionally you would start with the Dragon Book[1]. Another starting point is reading the documentation for Yacc (aka Bison) and Lex. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compilers:_Principles,_Techniq...
